Set to take place on Randall’s Island, this two-day event brings together some of the most influential and forward-thinking names in dance music, cementing Summit’s evolution from underground favorite to global tastemaker.
A Carefully Curated Lineup of Dance Music Icons
Experts Only Festival will showcase an impressive roster of artists across two stages, including:
- Kaskade b2b Cassian

- Two exclusive sets by John Summit
In collaboration with Medium Rare, Relentless Beats, and EMW, the event is expected to draw over 50,000 attendees. Festivalgoers can expect world-class stage production, immersive visuals, and an expertly designed site layout.
A Premier Location With a Striking Backdrop
Randall’s Island, previously home to Electric Zoo and Governors Ball, will serve as the ideal backdrop for the Experts Only experience. The grounds will be transformed into an immersive setting offering panoramic views of the Manhattan skyline, complemented by:
- A diverse selection of food and beverage vendors
- Interactive brand activations
- Art installations and experiential zones
Femme House and LIV Nightclub Add Cultural Depth and Prestige
Continuing his dedication to fostering inclusivity in dance music, John Summit is partnering once again with Femme House. The nonprofit organization—known for empowering women, BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and gender-expansive creatives—will play a vital role in the festival’s programming.
A portion of ticket sales will directly support Femme House, with $1 from every ticket benefiting its free educational and mentorship initiatives. This collaboration adds a purposeful, community-focused dimension to the event.
Additionally, the festival will feature a Skydeck VIP experience curated by LIV, the renowned nightclub brand with venues in Miami and Las Vegas. The exclusive area will offer premium views, bottle service, and a luxury hospitality environment reflective of LIV’s world-class reputation.
John Summit’s Next Chapter
John Summit continues to redefine the trajectory of modern house music. Following headline performances at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles and Madison Square Garden in New York, as well as the release of his recent single “Is Everybody Having Fun?” with Gorgon City and Rhys from the Sticks, Summit has firmly established himself at the forefront of the electronic music landscape.
Experts Only Festival represents the culmination of his journey—from underground residencies to international acclaim—offering a lineup that blends mainstage talent with emerging voices in a high-energy, creatively curated setting.
